another tip for judging mixes is to check by turning levels down to inaudible then very slowly bring it up and notice which element you hear first and how much you have to turn up to hear the other elements.
Another related trick is to leave the room completely while the mix is playing at moderate levels and notice the mix aspect of the sound from outside and also as you return.
